Dieses Buch enth lt zwei Teststudien, die unter Verwendung von Smartphone-basierten Nachrichten im Arbeitsbereich durchgef hrt wurden. In beiden Studien wurden Tests mit 24 Teilnehmern unter Verwendung eines Fahrsimulators durchgef hrt. Zwei Smartphone-basierte Apps, Safe Forward Collision Warning (SFCW) und Safe Worker to Driver (SWD), wurden mit MITapp Inventor 2 entwickelt. Im ersten Test wurden die Teilnehmer durch einen Vorwarnbereich gefahren, in dem vier verschiedene Arten von Warnmeldungen (visuell, akustisch, m nnliche und weibliche Stimme) erzeugt wurden, um ber den Unfall am Ende des Vorwarnbereichs zu informieren. hnlich wurden im zweiten Test drei Warnmeldungen (akustisch, m nnliche und weibliche Stimme) entwickelt, um den Fahrer ber den Arbeiter zu informieren, der den Arbeitsbereich der Arbeitszone betritt. In diesen beiden Tests wurden die aus dem Fahrsimulatortest gewonnenen Daten analysiert und mit dem Basisszenario verglichen. Diese Testergebnisse und die statistische Analyse zeigten, dass die Teilnehmer mit Sprachwarnung, entweder mit m nnlicher oder weiblicher Stimme, in beiden Tests erfolgreich ihre Geschwindigkeit und Beschleunigung reduzieren konnten. Die Teilnehmer konnten ihren Abstand und ihre Fahrzeit erh hen und bremsten mit Hilfe der Sprachwarnung fr her.

Este livro composto por dois estudos de teste que foram realizados utilizando mensagens baseadas em smartphones na zona de trabalho. Em ambos os estudos, foram efectuados testes com 24 participantes, utilizando um simulador de condu o. Foram desenvolvidas duas aplica es baseadas em smartphones, Safe Forward Collision Warning (SFCW) e Safe Worker to Driver (SWD), utilizando o MITapp inventor 2. No primeiro teste, os participantes percorreram uma rea de aviso avan ado com quatro tipos diferentes de mensagens de aviso (visual, sonoro, voz masculina e feminina) geradas para informar o acidente no final da rea de aviso avan ado. Da mesma forma, no segundo teste, foram criadas tr s mensagens de aviso (sonoras, voz masculina e feminina) para informar o condutor sobre o atravessamento de um trabalhador na rea de atividade da zona de trabalho. Nestes dois testes, os dados obtidos no teste do simulador de condu o foram analisados e comparados com o cen rio de base. Os resultados destes testes e a an lise estat stica indicaram que os participantes com avisos de voz, tanto masculinos como femininos, conseguiram reduzir a sua velocidade e acelera o em ambos os testes. Os participantes foram capazes de aumentar a dist ncia e o tempo de avan o e travaram mais cedo com a ajuda do aviso de voz.

Questo libro comprende due studi di prova condotti utilizzando messaggi basati su smartphone nell'area di lavoro. In entrambi gli studi, i test sono stati eseguiti con 24 partecipanti utilizzando un simulatore di guida. Due applicazioni basate su smartphone, Safe Forward Collision Warning (SFCW) e Safe Worker to Driver (SWD), sono state sviluppate utilizzando MITapp inventor 2. Nel primo test, i partecipanti hanno percorso un'area di avviso avanzato con quattro diversi tipi di messaggi di avviso (visivi, sonori, vocali e femminili) generati per informare dell'incidente alla fine dell'area di avviso avanzato. Analogamente, nel secondo test sono stati sviluppati tre messaggi di avvertimento (sonoro, vocale maschile e femminile) per informare il conducente dell'attraversamento di un lavoratore nell'area di attivit della zona di lavoro. In questi due test, i dati ottenuti dal test al simulatore di guida sono stati analizzati e confrontati con lo scenario di base. I risultati dei test e l'analisi statistica hanno indicato che i partecipanti con l'avviso vocale, sia maschile che femminile, sono riusciti a ridurre la velocit e l'accelerazione in entrambi i test. I partecipanti sono stati in grado di aumentare la distanza e il tempo di percorrenza e di frenare prima con l'aiuto dell'avviso vocale.

The rise of China is one of the most important events in international relations, which has altered, and will most likely continue to change the global geoeconomic and geo-political landscape. The book examines China’s “Belt and Road” initiative (BRI) in the Pacific Island countries as well as their partnerships in the context of China’s rise and China-America geopolitical competition. The book argues that the BRI in the South Pacific region is not merely an economic initiative, but one with a combination of economic, political and strategic objectives and consequences. The BRI in the region is, first and foremost, aimed to sustain China’s economic growth by gaining entry to the region’s resources and particularly the region’s marine resources, and by enhancing economic and infrastructural collaboration with its partners in the region. Sustained economic growth has long been identified by Deng Xiaoping as the basis underpinning China’s “overall” (“hard” and “soft”) power and China’s rise. The BRI is secondly aimed to intensify China’s partnership with the Pacific Island Countries (PICs) by changing the geoeconomic and geopolitical landscape through the implementation of BRI. China wishes to display to its partners in the region that its peaceful rise shall not be misconstrued as a threat, but an opportunity for economic prosperity both for China and for its economic partners across the world. The book concludes that China is increasingly able to reap economic and geopolitical interest in the South Pacific by intensifying “connectivity” and “exchanges of people” between China and the PICs through the BRI.

This book argues that China’s quest for a strategic partnership with Russia reveals the country’s desire to create a geopolitical environment in favour of their country’s re-emergence as a great power at the systemic (global) level. The partnership with its “no-limit” is expected to help China counterbalance its perceived US containment and reshape the US-dominated world order. By intensifying Sino-Russian economic and energy cooperation and trade in the framework of the partnership, China attempts to gain entry to Russia’s markets and particularly its energy resources to sustain its economic growth that is viewed by Deng Xiaoping as the basis underlying China’s “hard” power, and particularly its military capabilities. By intensifying their military collaboration, China seeks to gain entry to Russia’s military weaponry and technology for the modernization of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and work together with Russia to contain their perceived US unilateralism, hegemonism and interventionism. The Chinese foreign policy elites increasingly view US unilateralism and hegemonism as detrimental to China’s “core interests” (e.g., its territorial integrity and national rejuvenation). This sheds light on why the Chinese foreign policy elites conceive the China-Russia partnership as ‘vital’ for China’s peaceful development (commonly known as peaceful rise overseas) and the ‘ballast stone for global peace and strategic stability’. This book will be of interest to sinologists and scholars of China's foreign policy.
